I went to the British Museum on Friday and , for once, did not go to the exhibition and exploted some of the galleries I had not visited before. Usually I rarely get further than the Romano-British gallery which is my absolute favourite but I visited the Japanese gallery in the hope ofseeing some of the Hokusai prints. What I never realised was that the ink prints are actually called "Sumi -e" which I had hitherto only associated with this brilliant Toshiko Akiyoshi big band track. Nice to know what the word actually means.

Incidentally, knowing Bluesnik's enthusiasm for all things Danish, I bought this book of prints by the Danish painter PEder Seberin Kroyer whose paintings I recall seeing a lot during my holiday in that country in the late 1990s. The text is in French as it comes from an exhibition in Paris. The paintings are terrific.

[T]he ink prints are actually called "Sumi -e" [...] Nice to know what the word actually means.

One of the best descriptions can be found in Alan Watts' The Way of Zen, which I would strongly recommend for every household's bookshelves. Actually I strongly recommend it as compulsory reading in every secondary educational establishment worldwide. Annette Peacock told me it was everyone's reading among her circles in the early 60s - one of the few positive contributions to the world by British born thinkers.
